Built my STC-1000 to turn my spare chest freezer into a fermentation chamber. It's probably one of the smallest chest freezers one can buy, so I'm guessing it will run about 7-8 amps when cooling.
My electrical theory skills are good, and wiring the circuit was no issue, however household AC scares the hell out of me. All the junctions are in shrink tube and are soldered, and the connections to the power connector on the bottom of the unit are soldered as well. The wires are screwed to the posts on the side of the AC outlet.
I snagged the wire for the internal wiring from an old computer power cord.
Amatures and experts - From what you can see here does this build look solid? It operates as expected, I'm just worried about running it unattended.
Thanks,
